It is no surprise to my friends that my style is rather eclectic. I have a tiny pocketbook and I rent, so my tastes are adapted to the area around me. I tend toward naturalistic representations and have an interest in very old things and asian style furnishings. I like all color and try to bring as much as I can into the room without assaulting your eyes. I find that accenting in moveable spaces helps to overcome the "apartment" problems. After all, landlords really don't like it when you modify permanent elements on their properties.
